Daisy's Vigil
(Piano solo, Intermediate) Nancy Lichtenwalter lost her courageous battle with cancer on January 18, 2020; she spent her last days at home with her loving husband Ray Lichtenwalter. Their little dog Daisy kept a keen watch over them, traveling back and forth between them, depicted by the ascending and cascading lines. The anthem "Abide With Me" was played at Nancy's funeral and is intertwined throughout the piece; the last time it is played portrays Nancy's soul ascending into Heaven.
Audio performance by Taiko Pelick, Staff Collaborative Pianist at TCU.
